Finals Thoughts...

By


 As we approach the NBA Finals, it's all about 18. The Celtics have come this far and I expect them to close the deal. Now it won't be easy, but this team is ready to break through. The national media will be all about Luka and Kyrie. I guarantee most of America will be rooting for them. Kudos to Luka and Kyrie for playing so well, but we have four guys who can guard the two of them. I feel Jrue, Derrick, and the Jays can guard Luka. While ideally Jrue and Derrick can get to Kyrie, I wouldn't mind the Jays taking a crack at him too. Now who is Luka going to stop?? I'll tell ya no one! Who is Kyrie going to stop, no one! Dallas plays decent team defense but they can't shut down the fab four. Now if you add KP and Al to the mix that's six studs who can't be denied. 

The key for me will be defense, set the tone on that end and everything else will follow. Defense has predicated the games won this season. The playoff games won have been started and ended with defense. When that defense is working, the offense follows suit. Four more games until the ultimate sports glory. Once this group accomplishes this goal, they will be part of a fraternity of Celtic winners. There's no better place to win than in Boston. Ultimately I'd love to see the C's win in a sweep, but I'll take five games. Handle your business at home and steal one on the road and the rest can be history. 

Bleed Green! Celtic Pride! Banner 18!

In defense of Marcus Smart

By
 Let me make it clear first of all that I am totally against making a threat of any kind that even hints at harming, or certainly killing, another human being. Marcus Smart was wrong in doing so in the Celtics loss to the tanking Oklahoma City Thunder , and he deserved the one-game suspension. But to be honest, part of me loved that it occurred. . This type of thing can happen when a player gets to a point "beyond frustration" and is having a bad game. Marcus and his teammates have been under-performing generally - were in the process of losing to a pathetic-and-tanking Thunder team - and Smart was having a bad game . And he let loose verbally at the closest target - an NBA official. Wilt Chamberlain did a similar act versus referee, Earl Strom when Wilt was having his usual tortuous time at the free throw line (per Chicago Tribune's Sam Smith): ''He was in one of those 1-for-13s,'' recalls referee Earl Strom. ''Nothing was getting close. S...

One of those sources is Wikipedia, as seen below: Kevin McHale American basketball player DescriptionKevin Edward McHale is an American retired basketball player who played his entire professional career for the Boston Celtics. He is a Basketball Hall of Fame inductee, and is regarded as one of the best power forwards of all time. He was named to the NBA's 50th Anniversary All-Time Team. Wikipedia Born: December 19, 1957 (age 61 years), Hibbing, MN Wingspan: 8′ 0″ Height: 6′ 10″ Spouse: Lynn McHale (m. 1982) NBA draft: 1980, Boston Celtics (Round: 1 / Pick: 3) Hall of fame induction: 1999 Number: 32 (Boston Celtics / Power forward, Center) Kevin was listed at 6'10" tall when he was drafted with the 3rd pick in the 1980 draft.
